birthday devil dog cakes.....!

....so the biggest kid around here turned 42 (!!!!) this past friday on 4/20 (interestingly he shares his birthday with napoleon, george take [aka mr sulu], hitler, and joey lawrence) and it's also the big "smoking" day 420--who knew??....some super big birthday buddies right?

....and it seems i do way too many cupcakes around here....and most of the immediate family is pretty sick of them....

....so the request was for whoopie pies...last year he got sun and planet whoopie pies...this year the request was for traditional chocolate...which to me taste a lot like drakes devil dogs...they still make them but as a kid of the 70's and 80's those pre-made cakes from drakes, hostess, and tastykake were always around the house.....(and i've already talked about my love of hostess snoballs here and here!)

...so these are basically whoopie pies in "devil dog" shape....but the taste is pretty similar

add batter to zip lock bag, snip end off (not too large) and pipe out the shape

OK Devil Dogs were my all time favorite childhood treat. When we moved from the East coast, I couldn't find them so having a recipe for them is a treat in itself! Found you over at homework. THANK YOU!!
